IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5
This dishwasher complies with current safety requirements. Inap-
propriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to
property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the dishwasher,
please read the installation plan and the operating instructions
carefully before it is installed and used for the first time. Both con-
tain important information on its installation, safety, use and main-
tenance.
Keep the installation plan and the operating instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future owner.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with this information.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6
Correct use
This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and
similar residential environments.
This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.
It must only be used as specified in these operating instructions
for cleaning domestic dishes and cutlery. Any other usage is not
supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including chil-
dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
Safety with children
Children must be kept away from the appliance unless they are
constantly supervised.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance. Keep small children away from the appliance at all
times to avoid the risk of injury. There is the risk that children may
lock themselves in the dishwasher.
If the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model) is
active keep young children away from the area in which the door
opens. Danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the open-
ing mechanism.
Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.
Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents can
cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is
open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet. Seek
medical attention immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
Technical safety
Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be per-
formed by a Miele-authorized service technician. Work by unquali-
fied persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of dam-
age. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged dish-
washer. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective grounding
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the elec-
trical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electri-
cian.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
grounding system (e.g. electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the electrical supply.
If the dishwasher is plugged into the electricity supply using a 3-
pin plug with a grounding contact (it must not be hard-wired), the
electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is in-
stalled so that it can be disconnected from the electrical supply at
any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. There
is a danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher is pushed
up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a cooktop. The high
radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a cooktop
could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason, it should not be
installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat,
such as heaters, etc.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage, and fre-
quency) matches the electrical supply before connecting the dish-
washer to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electrical supply until it has
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply by a multi-
socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the re-
quired safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mecha-
nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger
while the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model)
is active.
To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:
The door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. They
are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left
half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the
door cannot fall open.
The door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens
at the end of the drying phase.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in a non-sta-
tionary location (e.g., on a ship).
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic
module may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must only
be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
The water pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) must
be between 7.25 - 145 psi.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
A damaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, turn off the electrical supply and contact Miele.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele-authorized service technician.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the electrical supply (turn it off and with-
draw the plug from the socket).
If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele-au-
thorized service technician only.
This dishwasher is supplied with a special bulb to cope with par-
ticular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,
abrasion resistance and vibration). This special bulb must only be
used for the intended purpose. It is not suitable for room lighting.
Replacement bulbs may only be fitted by a Miele-authorized techni-
cian or the Miele Technical Service.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Proper installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
with the installation plan.
Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protec-
tive gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure
problem-free operation.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a continuous counter which is secured
to adjacent cabinetry.
The door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. They
are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left
half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the
door cannot fall open.
The appliance may only be used with correctly adjusted door
springs.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
Proper use
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!
Do not inhale or ingest powder detergent. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in
the nose, mouth, and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Seek
medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or in-
haled.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could trip
over it and be injured by it.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dish-
washer to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.
Dishes can be very hot at the end of a program. Allow them to
cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish-
washers. Do not use dishwashing liquid.
Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may
cause damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical re-
action (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dish-
washer detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you
have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling
the salt reservoir!
Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or
gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair
the functioning of the water softener.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cut-
lery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with
the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, place
knives and forks with the handles upwards.
Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,
such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dish-
washer may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If you use the "FlexiTimer/Delay Start" option (depending on
model), make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent.
Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dis-
penser and may not be thoroughly dispersed.
Please observe the information given in "Technical data" regarding
the capacity of the dishwasher.
Accessories
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If spare parts or acces-
sories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become
invalid.
Disposal of your old dishwasher
Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot acciden-
tally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of
the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal
of the appliance.

Caring for the environment
18
Disposal of the packing mate-
rial
The cardboard box and packing materi-
als protect the appliance during ship-
ping. They have been designed to be
biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children. Dan-
ger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these mate-
rials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There-
fore, please do not dispose of your old
appliance with regular household waste
and follow local regulations on proper
disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please en-
sure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal. Ob-
serve safety requirements for appli-
ances that may tip over or pose an en-
trapment hazard.
Caring for the environment
19
Energy-saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is economical in the
consumption of water and energy.
For best results follow these tips:
For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
Select the Normal program (depend-
ing on model) for energy-saving dish-
washing. This program is the most ef-
ficient in terms of its combined en-
ergy and water consumption at clean-
ing normally soiled dishes.
If your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply, select the Energy
Saver program for washing a lightly to
moderately soiled load. Because the
water is not heated in this program,
dishes may still be slightly damper at
the end of this program than it would
be with other programs.
Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
When using powder or liquid deter-
gent, you can use
1
/
3
less detergent if
baskets are only half full.
Before using for the first time
20
Opening the door
At the end of programs with a drying
phase (see "Program overview"), the
door will open automatically a little in
order to help the drying process.
This function can be deactivated if pre-
ferred (see "Settings menu, AutoOpen").
To open the door, reach under the re-
cessed handle and pull.
Open the door fully to disengage the
locking mechanism.
The door locking pins will retract.
If the door is opened during operation,
all functions are automatically inter-
rupted.
Water in the dishwasher may be
hot. Danger of scalding!
Only open the door during operation
if absolutely necessary and exercise
extreme caution when doing so.
Keep the area around the door
free of obstructions.
